Every salary right. Every filing on time.

Novelworx runs full-cycle payroll for companies across India: salary processing, payslips, statutory deductions, bank transfers, employee records, and leave and attendance tracking, all through a centralised HRIS. It also deposits and files PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and TDS on salaries on a compliance calendar it manages ahead of every deadline.

Most Indian payrolls deal with four obligations: Provident Fund for retirement savings, Employees' State Insurance for health and social security, Professional Tax in the states that levy it, and TDS on salaries. Each has its own eligibility rules, wage base and deadlines as notified. Novelworx manages all four for its clients.

Provident Fund is India's mandatory retirement savings scheme, run by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation. Employers covered by the law must register, deduct the employee share, add the employer share, deposit both and file returns. Coverage depends on thresholds set in law, so Novelworx checks the current notified position for each client.

ESIC, or Employees' State Insurance, provides medical care and cash benefits for sickness, maternity and workplace injury. It covers employees earning up to a notified wage ceiling in covered establishments. Employers and employees both contribute. Novelworx registers eligible employees, deposits contributions and files returns, and tracks people moving in or out of eligibility.

Professional Tax is a tax on employment levied by individual states, and not every state levies it. Where it applies, the employer deducts it from salaries using the state's slabs and remits it on the state's schedule, usually under its own registration. Novelworx manages Professional Tax registrations and filings in each state where clients employ people.

A statutory compliance calendar is a schedule of every deposit, return and renewal an employer owes, with the due date, the owner and the status for each. Novelworx keeps one for every client, covering PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and TDS in every state the client operates, and works ahead of each deadline.

Yes. At onboarding, Novelworx assigns a dedicated account manager, migrates existing employee, salary and year-to-date tax data into its HRIS, and briefs the client's team. Year-to-date figures matter most for TDS, so Novelworx reconciles them before the first payroll run. The client approves the first cycle before anything is paid.

Usually, yes. Companies that outsource payroll and compliance to Novelworx typically save 20–40% compared with in-house teams or several vendors. The saving comes from not building a payroll team and from avoiding the interest and penalties that late or wrong filings attract. Clients Novelworx manages have recorded zero statutory penalties.
